Reply #8: Okay, in order....

1) As a failed entrepreneur and governor of Texas, and with only a couple of brief trips outside the country in his lifetime, Bush had no foreign policy experience, but he's president. Point destroyed. In fact, most presidents come to office without any foreign policy experience. Reagan had none. Carter had none. Clinton had none. Nixon had little--well, except for being splattered by vegetables in central America in 1956.

2) Being a trial lawyer can only be exploited by people who have never had any need of a trial lawyer. Bush is currently consulting a DC trial lawyer to protect him from potential prosecution for things of which he may be charged. Point not taken on evidence.

3) Your opinion. Nothing to address, except perhaps that it is true that RW media/crime machine would go after him. Is that not true of any of the Democratic VP candidates, or Kerry, himself. They'd do it no matter who's chosen. Point moot.

4) "lacks 'experience.'" So did Bush upon entering office, and he wasn't the VP. See item 1. Domestically, Edwards has roughly the same amount of experience in office as did Bush when he sought the presidency. Point destroyed.

Methinks you don't like the man because you're a doctor, and he's a trial lawyer, which you see as your antithesis. Hmmm?
